The Hobby Stocks provided an exciting race as Bubba Christian and Kevin Durden waged a 20 lap battle that wowed the crowd. David Kinsey also ran well in the top three, but his car developed handling issues that kept him from seriously challenging the front two. Despite Bubba Christian's best efforts, he never found a way to get past the 35 car and Kevin Durden finished first. And Durden praised Christian in Victory Lane, commenting that Bubba had raced him cleanly instead of playing dirty in an attempt to win. David Kinsey hung on to finish third, followed by Mike Eubanks and Marlon Durbin for fourth and fifth.

A new face emerged from a Mini Stock in Victory Lane as Danny Vogel Jr. vaulted into the lead on the first lap and never looked back. Meanwhile there was plenty of hard racing behind him, and that is what allowed Vogel to get away form everyone else as he did. As Paul Combast, Sean Babcock, and Greg Bonygne mixed it up over the next three positions, Vogel put a country mile between himself and the rest of the pack. Combast would free himself from the challengers and attempt to catch Vogel, but distance and the lack of a caution flag proved to be too much of a barrier to overcome. despite Combast obviously running faster laps and closing the gap to some extent.

Danny Vogel Jr. was the race winner, with Paul Combast finishing second. Sean Babcock claimed third place and Greg Bonynge placed fourth. Johnny Zackery raced to a fifth place finish to round out the top five.

Gladiator action featured Eddie Lentz taking an early lead and dominating the field to capture a victory. Paul Hahn was in the hunt and finished second, but a mishap in practice that sent him into the turn four wall may have done enough damage that the handling was a bit off on the 78 machine. James McCloud drove his 10 car to a third place finish and first timer Austin Gamble never gave up to finish fourth. Twelve year old Kody Fisher also wound up in the top five.
